Miniature scale BRRREEEEEEEP!!!!! Wrong answer, Kenobi. As a long time modeller as well as miniature maker, I've had ample opportunity to compare sizes. 25mm = 1:48 scale. 1:72 scale = 15mm. 28mm = @ 1:45-1:43 scale. There you have it! Hint: for good size comparisons, get some military model...

Alternate idea for True Ambidexterity True Ambidexterity (the kind that folks are born with, rather than the taught version represented by the feat) is rarely total. It comes in percentages. So, as an idea that I've been toying with for some time now, how does this sound: Prerequisite: Dex 13+...

Here's an idea: Go to the Reaper Miniatures website and order a weapons pack plus whatever figure fits your character best. The axehead which best fits the lok of that which you ordered is in Weapons Pack 2; you can order individual sprues through the Boneyard section of their online store. Here...

Well, I do commision work, if you're needing it.

OK, the drilling into the shaft is far easier if you use something to start a guide-hole. I use an etching stylus and eyeball the positioning to get as close to centerline as possible, tap or press firmly to start a hole, then drill. For something this thin, do NOT use a paperclip. Go to a hobby...

Gap filling Madhatter, for gap filling without the expense, try a tube of Squadron putty. This is a model putty that comes in white and green varieties. I've used both, and the green seems to dry harder. This is far cheaper than the green-stuff. Also, if you want to get green-stuff, you can try...

Librarian... It all depends on how the fit is on the parts. If they seem to have a strong atachment point and are stable, then you can get away without pinning. However, you should test the hold and stability BEFORE painting. If they seem to come loose easily, or just don't feel right, then rip...

Interesting... Let me know if you need some help. I do conversions all the time. Good fortune!

"... On Dasher, On Dancer, On Donner, On Venison..." ROFLMFAO!!!!!

What I use I've been painting for 16 years, 15 of that as a professional/freelancer. I've been using the same paint for over 12 years now, and love it. It's "Rust Curb" brand from Chase Products (www.ChaseProducts.com). You can get it at the Family Dollar line of stores for $2.00 per 19 oz...

JBWeld This is super heavy-duty stuff. Only use this stuff if you don't EVER plan to mess with the figure again. If you wish to strip the piece, or do modifications later, or even if you need to do repairs, this is not the product for you. This should only be used on pieces which are only going...

Oops! I was adding some photos to the public gallery, but one was screwed up and wound up in the mugshot gallery. How do I remove it? *OK, the vampire is admittedly cool, but not for a mugshot... I'm not a blonde!*

Glue and putty I use Superglue brand thick gel. This works well for miniatures, and it also fills gaps. As a bonus, it only costs @ $2.79 + tax for a 3 pack of tubes. This type of glue is the most controllable and easy to use. As for putty, I have had excellent results with the Squadron putty...

Hey all, I've been trying to find out about this Rune RPG, but no luck yet. It looks decent, but no one has any real info on it, and I refuse to do a blind order without knowing what I'm getting (none of our FLGS carry this product.) Can someone help me out with some objective info on how this...

Paint choices My personal choices for paints are as follows, in chronological order. *Note: My opinions are the results of 16 years of painting, 15 of which I have been professional. I worked 2 years for Ral Partha as a freelancer, and I take private commissions as well as painting items for...
